In this paper I present verb movement is a syntactic operation, which is a totally compliant with the suggested properties of previously accounts that verb movement is a PF operation. After recapitulating the essentials of the analysis of generative syntax and minimalist program on verb movement, I will defend the view that verb movement is a syntactic operation which allows CHL to recognize the completion of phases. After arguing that Chomsky(2001: 37-9) and others' accounts which lead to suggest excluding verb-movement from the core operation from the syntax can also be accommodated in my syntactic view I am trying to make sure that verb movement is a syntactic operation, not a phonological one suggested by Chomsky and others
